I picked picked out some more detail of the reflections here.<\/p>\n

Walking around to the far side, nearest the river, I found this composition of the reflections of branches arching out over the pond.<\/p>\n

Continuing around the lake, I encountered a Night Heron standing on a sunken branch. Close by was a Great Blue Heron, hiding in the bushes at the shore. A beaver was also to be found swimming out towards the center of the pond. I captured these reflections of branches that had fallen into the pond.<\/p>\n

There was a lot of greenery along the banks of the Platte River and around the pond. I had to find some more colors to reduce the monotony! Walking along the Platte River, the footpath passed under this bridge. Here was a Canada goose, who was sitting at the side of the path, tormenting passers-by with hissing. I setup under the bridge to capture another HDR image that reveals the range of tones under the bridge and along the river banks.<\/p>\n

The sun was getting very low in the sky, hiding behind the distant clouds as it headed down behind the mountains. Beside the footpath is Sante Fe Drive. Here is located an RV dealership and a billboard announcing “Coaster-Rific”. With the huge range of tones at sunset in the scene, this image got another HDR treatment.<\/p>\n
